It says something about our world that the political and social issues explored in the musical are still relevant.
Miss Saigon – Themes and Misconceptions
People Magazine Accidentally Doesn’t Select MojoFiction
People magazine just released their “Most Beautiful Women of the Year.” Once again MojoFiction is not on the list, leading us to believe that People magazine continues to assume our gender. Our super-manly, beer-chugging, steak-eating, cigar chomping gender. Shame on you, People. Did we assume that “People” only meant human people? No. We are more... Continue Reading →
IT HURTS SO GOOD – A STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT STORY
So, there was MojoFiction, a lone Stormtrooper standing atop an ice-encrusted rise on Hoth, surveying the battlefield below. Rebel scum relentlessly assaulted a relentless Imperial defense of an uplink station that could be used to call down Y-Wing bombers, probably relentlessly, to weaken the two AT-AT walkers that lumbered across the ravine in an effort...

Poorly Drawn Lines (a book review)
I'm not sure it's fair to classify this as a book review. Poorly Drawn Lines is really a web comic that became so good that its midichlorian count flew off the charts and it became self-aware, resulting in the spontaneous conception of a physical publication that manifested itself in my local Barnes and Noble. Whether... Continue Reading →
BLUE RIDGE, BLACK HEART (a book review)
Novel by Geraldine Powell Morgan Pike is a private investigator. She should be a defense attorney, protecting the rights of her occasionally innocent, but usually guilty, clientele for hundreds of dollars an hour. Unfortunately, seeing her law license suspended for 4 years has taken her down another road. Now she spends much of her time... Continue Reading →
The Water Travelers (a book review)
Disclaimer: The author of this book contacted me via my WordPress site and requested a book review. I said sure, but I bought my own copy with my own hard-earned money. So there you go. Consider yourself informed. The official title of this book is, The Water Travelers: Heir of the Unknown. It's the first... Continue Reading →
The Chicago Fire Would Be On Fire If They Weren’t So Not On Fire
MojoFiction doesn't often report on the beautiful game. No, not Settlers of Catan, we were referring to soccer, or, for those of you still living in the past: Football That's Not American Football. MojoFiction lives in Chicagoland which, like Disneyland, is a magical place where management keeps raising the prices so a soda costs $9.95.... Continue Reading →
Labyrinth (a book review)
Labyrinth, by author Kate Mosse, came out way back in 2005 (for you young people, that's Y2K+5). There had already been quite the rain of books about quests for the Holy Grail or Templar treasure and whatever "shocking" revelation about religion or history was about to be revealed. That probably wouldn't have been a big... Continue Reading →
Life Itself (a book review)
I've been slowly reading Life Itself for months, one chapter at a time, usually late in the evening. I didn't take my time because the book is boring or confusing, or because it isn't compelling. I took my time because this book demands it. This trip down someone else's memory lane isn't for the trivia nut. It's... Continue Reading →
Anti-Social Media (a book review)
The novel Anti-Social Media, by first-time author Kate Beth Heywood, describes itself as "savagely funny." In its own unique way, that statement is entirely true. But let's get to that later. First, what is this novel about? Constance Anderson is a young woman living out her dreams in the UK. In other words, she is an aspiring screenwriter with no screenplay... Continue Reading →
